Here is my new tree skirt! My Mom had this round piece of Swedish Dala Horse material (from IKEA? not sure) she used as a tablecloth on a small round table. I don't own a small round table, so what does one do with a round piece of beautiful cloth? I decided to make a tree skirt! My friend gave me some red material to back it with and I bought some batting and started to quilt around the horses last spring. I started....didn't get far. I finally wised up and handed my project to my friend Jen who finished it up for me (in exchange for some lunches at In-N-Out) so it's a win-win situation!
Here's a bit more of my tree, almost all ornaments are straw ones so it looks rather Swedish and rustic. Merry Christmas! How did you decorate your tree this year?

I love how you made good use of round material! And I especially love the Swedish theme! So beautiful!!
You are so creative! I love your tree so much. You have a great eye for decorating!!
For a couple of In-N-Out hamburgers, I would do just about anything - our closest one is in Tucson!
Your tree is lovely. We're still a treeless family - before, it was because of the cats, now it's because of the dogs - Sofi's tail alone would topple almost any Douglas fir!
If I don't talk to you before, have a wonderful Christmas!
Annette, I love our Christmas tree and the cover at the bottom. I think it says, "I love Swedish stuff" about as plainly as anything could. I am also excited about our stocking stuffers and our more special gift for each other. I think its going to be a sweet Christmas memory.
Love you, Hon,
Heber
